The vitals fitness band is a technologically advanced wearable health monitor for real-time recording of vital signs such as blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), pulse rate, and body temperature. It employs the TTGO ESP32 microcontroller and the MAX30102 biosensor, which employ Photoplethysmography (PPG) technology for providing secure and power-saving monitoring. The device can easily be integrated with smartphones using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and supports the nRF Connect for Mobile app, which enables real-time data transfer and historical health analysis. One of the strongest aspects of the Vitals Fitness Band is its emergency alert system that alerts caregivers and patients through alarms in case of SpO₂ below 90%, blood pressure below 40 mmHg or above 120 mmHg, or body temperature outside the usual range of 36.1 to 37.5°C. The alarms are both on the device and the mobile app, allowing quick intervention. Additionally, the application also supports secure medical data sharing with family members, doctors, or caregivers for remote monitoring of the patient and individualized health care management. Being a fitness expert and a general health monitoring application, Vitals fitness band is a cost-effective preventive care solution, supported by IoT functionalities for greater real-time observation, emergency help, and proactive prevention of ailments.
